FLORAL KEEPSAKE. 11 



Let nature spread her loveliest 



By spring or summer nurst ; 

 Yet still I love the violet best, 



Because I loved it first. 



L. E. L. 



Gentle L. E. L. ! thou art gone to the Land of Flowers and Song, 

 where all that is bright and beautiful on earth will be at last 

 clustered. 



We commend then our Floral Keepsake to the gentlest of all 

 human sympathies, and trust that the bright glances of the beautiful 

 may always rest upon its pages with pleasure. J. K.
